Kubo is the best and she should be allowed to make all the anime and manga she wants.

Otabek confirmed as Yurio's first friend :lol: I love so many of these dumb idiots and I'm hoping all of them find happiness. And that we get to see it in S2: Yurio!!! On Ice.

I couldn't figure out from the ending if now they are going to compete against each other or whether Viktor's coaching Yuuri until he gets 5 golds.

Also one big thing about the episode for me, I know it probably shouldn't be what I'm focusing on, but I'm irrationally marking out for JJ getting bronze in spite of being a pile of nerves before :canada: JJ STYLE

So question - now that the show is over, how does one get the Theme of King JJ to stop playing in their heads? Because I've a feeling this is not gonna happen anytime soon.

Yeah I feel kinda disappointed by the ending if I'm being honest here. Like, it feels like a chunk was just excised so they can add a sequel hook, which felt a bit cheap after all the "we're getting too old for figure skating while the next generation is surpassing us, this is my final season" talk somehow?

It felt like one big anti-climax

You don't. You embrace it and download it from iTunes (if your American) and listen to it everyday.

I'm as Canadian as JJ, so hopefully his theme becomes available here soon so I can give money to the beautiful people who created it.

Refurbished cats may have scratches, dents or other forms of cosmetic damage which do not affect the performance of the unit.
I was a little disappointed by the finale as well. Does this mean the skate boys aren't going to get married now? :(

Also I want more of that ending scene.

Final episode was beautiful and one hell of a ride, and gently caress me if that duet at the end wasn't a fantastic surprise.

That said, I'm not satisfied, and not in the good way. Their love is undeniable and handled really well, but I still wanted some unquestionable form of affirmation that yes, this is romantic love, deal with it. A fully visible kiss or even just them saying, "I love you" would've perfect, and without that, it feels like it's erring unnecessarily on the platonic/safe side. If they had been a straight couple we would've gotten a visible kiss no question, so it's just...When YoI has already come so far in depicting a positive gay couple and is heads above what I could've hoped for, is asking them to cross the finish line when it's right there really that much?

It's not, and that's part of what leads to the incomplete feeling I have. There should have been another kiss, a declaration -

But there wasn't. And they're going to keep skating, which feels like a surprise? Like it came out of nowhere?

... So. I want more, because damnit, it's incomplete.

It's one of my favorite parts of the show. It's like, 99% of times athletes in any sport get screwed when they let hate take over their performance. But once in a while you get a beautiful little monster like this guy that get better by focusing on how much they loathe humanity and it's adorable :allears:

I thought that if he didn't get the gold Yuuri wouldn't retire, but I didn't expect Viktor to return to competitive skating. That doesn't feel right, either, because part of Viktor's growth was learning that he can/will be surpassed and eventually accepting it and looking towards the future. I understand him feeling like he had to win back his legacy, but why couldn't Yuuri become his new legacy? It was set up so well and the "lol jk see you on the podium next year nerds" from Viktor didn't feel natural.

It really is incomplete, that's the best way to describe it. Like I just ate a meal and my reaction isn't "I'm full but I want more because that was so good" but "I want more because those tiny serving sizes were bullshit."
